The Ajinomoto Group was co-founded in 1909 by businessman Sabrosuke Suzuki II and Dr. Kikunae Ikeda, the scientist who discovered “umami” and created MSG. Since initially releasing AJI-NO-MOTO MSG to the public with the goal of improving the health of the Japanese people, the Ajinomoto Group has expanded across the globe, now bringing the essence of taste to professional chefs, home cooks and adventurous foodies in over 30 countries.

Umami seasoning adds richness and depth to nearly any dish, helping to enhance the overall flavor. Many chefs find they need to add less salt than normal when using umami seasoning since flavor is more pronounced.

AjiPanda™ Umami Seasoning may be added to savory dishes during or after the cooking process. It enhances the flavors of fish, vegetables, meats, broths and much more – check out our recipes for inspiration!

AjiPanda™ Umami Seasoning bottles have a slightly different formulation than the bagged seasoning, thanks to the inclusion of flavor-enhancers inosinate and guanylate in small percentages. The bottles are also smaller and more convenient to use than bagged AJI-NO-MOTO MSG seasoning, making them ideal for home cooks.

AjiPanda™ Umami Seasoning is an easy-to-use version of the AJI-NO-MOTO MSG seasoning beloved in home and restaurant kitchens around the world. The flavor of MSG comes from glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid present in foods like cheese, tomatoes, kelp and shiitake mushrooms. AjiPanda MSG seasoning is produced through the fermentation of corn starch, sugar cane and cassava starch – like how yogurt and wine are made.
